Abstract
This paper explores the place of the stupa in Thai Buddhism, particularly the way that stupa tend to be elaborated and enlarged over time by encasing the older fabric in a new shell. The discussion framed as a critique of current conservation practice which, privileging 'original' fabric, cuts across local religious practice.
